I want to start, though, I have always, always, always – Maintain that the most ridiculous kind of conspiracy theory is that the Democrats would wait until right before an election to release another global pandemic and steal the election again.

And I wish to say that I believe that that is a very silly conspiracy theory, and I've maintained that.

And then this morning, I look and see a headline about a Russian scientist getting sick at a, I kid you not, a plague institute in Siberia.

And at that point, I looked at the calendar, I looked at the headline, and I said, you know what? Maybe y'all are on to something.

Those of you that believe that the pandemic was part of a larger globalist conspiracy, maybe you're on to something.

Now, apparently this plague is a bioengineered airborne version of the bubonic plague, but the incubation period and death are so quick that it wouldn't propagate itself properly.

And this is going to sound very not important to you guys, maybe a little too flippant.


Maybe that would just PR-wise sound like a little bit better of a name than the Plague Institute.

It is certainly concerning that we, apparently somebody is trying to figure out how to make the bubonic plague airborne, but it's, it's not something that can spread, you know, in the way COVID did, but it is something that I would have concerns about just as something somebody's researching.

Now you research obviously a bioweapon so that you can come up with a cure for the bioweapon, but it's, I think that we've learned that these countries that are not very pro-West and in fact are very hostile to us, they don't seem to have a whole lot of great safeguards on their deadly viruses, you know? So anyway, that's just a little bit of a rant there.
